Scrolling a Mail message in the message window has an issue. I’ve checked various apps and I’ve not seen this behavior anywhere but Mail. Tap on a message in the sidebar to have it display in the message window, scroll up or down in the message window, the first swipe with your finger, Apple Pencil, or stylus works, but a second swipe up or down does not. You have to swipe a 3rd time to continue scrolling. Now, if you scroll continuously without letting the message stop in place, it will continue scrolling with each gesture. But, scroll, pause a second to let the message stop moving, the next scroll gesture doesn’t work. If you wait long enough, that second gesture will work. But, swipe, let the message come to a stop, and quickly swipe again, the second quick swipe won’t get a reaction. It’s kinda hard to explain this properly, but if you compare scrolling or swiping up or down on a Safari page and then go to a Mail message, you’ll easily see how it’s different. I noticed this after the 26.4 beta.

Just as a comparison, scroll the message list, smooth with no unrecognized gestures. The issue is only occurring in the message window.

I can confirm this on my 14Pro. It’s quite annoying.

Is AirDrop reliable on iOS 26.4 b1? In this conditions: from my iPhone to my iPad, on a place without WiFi connection.

I’m asking because I’m having issues on iOS 26.2, although it may be already fixed on iOS 26.3, as there were many changes to Bluetooth introduced in 26.2.1 so… maybe on 26.3 it’s already solved. What about AirDrop on 26.4?
 
Booting into Diagnostic mode (iPhone 15 Pro Max) and can't get past "Waiting for support..." on 26.4, anyone else experiencing this? Worked fine on non-beta afaict.
 
Today I learned you can set accessibility settings on a per app basis. Like borders just on the Home Screen but no other app? You can do that!

Everyone probably already knows about this.
 
Something strange and curious happened to me today. Out of nowhere, around three in the afternoon, I started getting a Pop-UP message on my desktop, telegram or settings, no matter where I was. It said that messages to activate iCloud could generate additional costs. I accepted of course, because the other option was not to use iCloud and I didn't trust it, but this message had never appeared before, not even how much I contracted iCloud at the time and I have been paying for it for years. Yes, it has worked for me to activate Facetime and iMessage, but never iCloud.

App Store Updates - I love the new update around App Store app updates (it was precisely what I requested). Based on folks' frustration with the extra step (pull down) to refresh updates once in that section, I sent a Feedback suggestion

Privacy > Location settings - for me, sometimes, the list 'crashes' or 'springs' as I scroll down. After two or three swipes to scroll the list to change some settings, it just springs back to the top. Feedback bug submitted, even tho this is not always a consistent behavior - today I could not reproduce

Still have to pull down to refresh the list on my 17 Pro Max

I have a confounding issue with 26.4 Beta 1 on my iPhone 16 Pro Max that I haven't experienced in any of the prior iOS 26 updates. When I try to update more than one app on the App Store, the first one will complete and then immediately my phone will disconnect from wifi and cellular. Nothing short of restarting the phone will restore a connection, and in some cases, more than one restart has been necessary. Then this repeats again when I try to update the next app. Other than that, I've had no issues with 26.4 Beta 1 (i.e. battery or CarPlay problems). Strange!
